Last Thursday, I interviewed Dr. Stouffer who teaches applied statistics of behavioral psychology. He received his PhD at McGill University and has been teaching at Bloomsburg for more than six years. He’s very proud of the research in the papers he has published which allows him to contribute to ongoing research in the field of psychology.
During interview, I asked about the work he has done in the psychology department and some writings he has done for the subject. It was a short interview because of the time-frame in which I could interview him. The first question I asked him was about the different types of writings he does in the field of psychology. He mostly writes scientific papers and although he enjoys it, it allows little creativity and flexibility in the styles he could write. On most days, he teaches classes and doesn’t do much writing.
The second question I asked him was who he writes for. He stated that he writes for an audience that has background in the subject matter and/or others in the field. He writes to explain his findings in greater detail to people that have less knowledge of the subject them him. The next question I asked him was why he writes and what does he get out of writing. He writes for two reasons, to get his findings published and to advance in his career. When he gets his works published, he is able to share his findings with others in the community and to get his name out there. When he gets out of writing is recognition for his work and his research being shown as important.
The last question I asked Dr. Stouffer is if there was any research articles he liked and why. The article he talked about was a collaboration he has done with another student. It was about if a diet enriched with antioxidants could reverse memory damage. They share their findings and have them published in a newsletter. He really enjoyed working with his student and in the end they did fine that I die enriched with antioxidants could prevent brain/memory damage.
I really enjoyed talking with Dr. Stouffer about his research and writings relating to psychology. I hope to talk to him again in the near future about more practices and research required for the major itself and in general.
